Yup, you read the title right… and you now have been officially informed! With our dedicated and loving MYEO Chair, we will blow this one out of the water! (Remember shooting at frogs in the pond with your BB gun?)
At first, the MYEO groups were hosted in our EO KENYA chapter group, but then it dawned on us that if members from outside our chapter wanted to join, Sachna would have to fight off the “group joining requests” like tsetse flies on a walking safari while wearing dark blue colours.
So here is the community link, and you can join whichever group you want without going via the ConnectEO website. However, when events are posted, you will need to register via ConnectEO so everyone can cover their bum bums from expensive lawyers and their Law & Suits…
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK, If someone wants it, send them to this Friday Shot
No? Now you do!

Saudi Arabia

Since I was very young, my dad and I would watch the recap of the Paris-Dakar on the local French telly. Seeing those guys going bonkers on those, ehm, non-roads was just a dream and filled me with excitement!
Things happen for a reason, and in their own time. Sometimes it takes years for them to make sense.
Well, I met Basel from the Saudi East Chapter. We were chatting together at lunch during our MEPA RC meeting (yeah, I’m doing that, too)… and I shared how I would love to see Dakar as a spectator.
Later that day, during the launch event for MLS in Bahrain
(Board members, you all missed out btw—it was FAB!), he came to me and said,
“I want to be your co-champion, and I have someone who can handle all the logistics; plus, a friend of mine is participating.
” Boom, shack-a-lak, a-what the people them want!! (Apache Indian, 1 Love!)
The rest is history!
Here is the link to MYEO DAKAR— we also welcome any rally and motorsport fans. Stay tuned, because this will be a real oncein-a-lifetime event… Saudi Arabia is simply stunning, and the people there are as friendly as Paddington - truly a hidden gem!
